A song that brings a warm energy, like the warm sun on a cold winter morning, the kind that melts away the stress and the pain, is ‘candlelight’ by meelu. Clocking in at a little over three minutes, the song makes you feel like you are the main character in your life which you have chosen to enjoy to the fullest. The happiness is overflowing, you heart is full of love and experiences, and this would probably be the title track to that feeling.
The production starts out with organic instrumentation, the drums thumping like a racing heartbeat. The acoustics bring a shimmer and glitter to the track. The vocals are beautifully soulful and melodic, almost flowing like a poetic journal entry. The writing feels emotionally subtle, but there is a sense of intimacy, a sense of vulnerability that is laced throughout the lyrics.
The song feels like its made of memories that are happy, yet fragile. A lot like dreams, just like they can be surreal, they are also broken as soon as you wake up. The pace of the song is fast, almost like it is trying to run away from you, but it is also the kind that lingers after it has stopped playing.
it is the kind of track you’ll keep coming back to, because hearing it once is not enough. You can listen to ‘candlelight’ by meelu, on popular platforms like Spotify.
